As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Test,Calibration And Handheld Equipment category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Test,Calibration And Handheld Equipment procurement best practices.

For example, Buyers need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Test,Calibration And Handheld Equipment industry.

Risks in Test,Calibration And Handheld Equipment procurement

Test,Calibration And Handheld Equipment procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Test,Calibration And Handheld Equipment procurement. Some examples include:

Therefore, suppliers incur excessive costs to keep upgrading their technology and to ensure maintenance of these technologies across various stages of the product category
  • Contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms are not very common in the category but they do exist in certain situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question
  • Crude oil is one of the major factors that determines the risks associated with the category as fuel costs account for a major portion of the suppliers' cost structure. Volatility in the prices of crude oil significantly impacts the overall costs incurred in the category
